Organic Eggs – Hunt’s Organic Farm (Oberlin, Ohio)

This recipe serves two, but is easy to double or triple the measurements. If you do increase the portions, you will need either a larger saute pan or use two pans at once. Be sure to have a large enough pan for the number of eggs you’re using.

Italian Stovetop Eggs

Ingredients

2 Tb. tomato paste

1 Tb. olive oil

2 Tb. red onions, diced

4 eggs, large or jumbo

2 Tb. heavy cream or whole milk

parsley, curly or flat leaf, to top

fresh Romano or Parmesan, to top

Directions

1. Mix olive oil and tomato paste togther. Heat a large saute pan on med-high. When hot, add this mixture to pan. Reduce to medium heat.

2. Once this mixture begins to bubble, add the sliced red onions. Saute for about 5 minutes, or until onions become soft.

3. Crack each egg directly into the pan, leaving a bit of space between each one. Allow to cook for several minutes.

4. Once you see the yolks begin to pop out, but are still fluid, pour the heavy cream across all four eggs. Allow to continue to cook for several more minutes. Do not cover. Eggs are done once the yolk is firm, but not dry, approximately 3-5 more minutes.

5. Right before serving, top with fresh cheese and then roughly chopped parsley.

Serve with thinly sliced radishes, yogurt, olives or any type of bite-size appetizers you can find.

Don’t be surprised to see the most beautiful golden yolk when you crack them open…
